There are 26 posts from this person just today all over the Wisconsin boards advertising this "free FOR NOW, in exchange for info" site. So we give this person our info...and once they have all of our info they will then charge people to access it? Is this like competition for ancestry.com only cheaper? I took a look at their front page and here is what PART of it said: "As a family historian, you know the joy and pride that is felt when a missing piece of family history is discovered. It's people who understand this feeling who are developing the revolutionary interactive online database for genealogical data. Minimal monthly dues and consistent growth of data, contributed by members such as yourself, are what make this site different. Welcome to GenCo-Op! I, for one, am suspicious.
